FDA Launches Women's Health Video Blog
Today, FDA launched a new video blog that will focus on women's health issues. The videos for this blog can be found here on the Transparency blog and on the FDA YouTube channel.
February 4th is National Wear Red Day which means women across the country will be wearing red to help raise awareness of women's heart disease. Nearly 43 million women, one-third of all women in America, are living with or are at risk for heart disease. By some estimates that number could rise significantly by 2030. Heart disease is also the leading cause of death among women, claiming more lives than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and lung cancer combined.
This video is part of our department's The Heart Truth campaign, which gives women a wakeup call about the risks of heart disease but also supports them as they manage and avoid those risks. The campaign asks women to talk to their doctor, find out their risk, and take action today to lower it.
Please watch our video blog and let us know what you think in the comment area below so we can continue to improve these videos and better address your needs.
You can also find more women's heart health information and materials at www.fda.gov/womenshearthealth.
Ann Witt, Transparency Initiative Coordinator
I agree with Kirsten. Heart disease has many symptoms.. In fact we call it the silent killer.. Public health and awareness can reduce mortality rates caused by heart disease but ultimately the patient has to make a choice and be active and NOT passive about his or her health and take action..
Dr. Knox
I would like to see more videos come out about this topic of heart disease. More people need to be aware of the impact of and who is affected by heart disease. I think videos along with blogs like this will catch more peoples attention because a video was included. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Yes thanks for sharing.. Opened my eyes to the issue of heart disease

Marla :
Excellent presentation. Women's heart health is important because so many women are not aware of the warning signs of heart problems. Crucial information and presented in a way that is easily understood. Great job!!
I agree with you. slipped disc symptoms
A very excellent presentation. Yes, it is a fact that many people don't know that heart disease is a very big concern for women too! I'm glad that the FDA is letting women know that they are at risk and some of symptoms of what they might experience in an emergency situation. If you have any of these symptoms – DON'T WAIT, GET HELP!
Thank you, this is good information and very informative. I sometimes use http://healthytv.net/ to get latest news on health and wellness. I hope this helps you guys too.
I am always happy to see discussions about women's health issues and these 2 women had a very friendly manner that was easy to follow while they were giving some very pertinent information about heart disease in women, which is seriously underreported.
I am happy to see the FDA stepping up with this kind of information and I found this entire site to be very informative and videos are a great tool.
What a great effort by the FDA to dedicate an easily-accessible blog solely to women's issues. Heart health in women is a critical topic and it's assuring to see it presented in this manner. In upcoming video blogs it would be nice to see some misconceptions about heart disease in women, the truth about mammograms and when women who are not predisposed to cancer should start getting them, as well as ways to incorporate exercise and affordable healthy eating into busy lives. A recent study by the University of Minnesota shows that new mothers were unable to eat as many vegetables or work out as often as new fathers. It would be great to have the FDA's advice on this problem available in blog form. Thank you again for the great idea, looking forward to future blog posts.
Thank you for enlightening women about this issue. Furthermore, controlling the risk factors for heart disease is just as important in women as in men. And if you are a woman, you have a few additional things to think about as you plan your risk reduction strategy.
Thank you so much for posting an informative video about health issues. It is nice to see more online resources from the FDA and other government organizations to make awareness and treatment options available.Heart disease is a major problem and any info to help find treatment options, prevention, etc is most welcome.
"February 4th is National Wear Red Day which means women across the country will be wearing red to help raise awareness of women's heart disease. Heart disease is also the leading cause of death among women, claiming more lives than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and lung cancer combined." What strikes me is the prevalence is so high! Everyone always talks about breast cancer and wears the pink ribbons, but it's not even the leading cause of death in women! We need to raise awareness of this so that women can stay healthy!! Thank you.
As a Hypnotherapist I am able to offer considerable assistance to typical lifestyle factors that contribute to the disease. Stress reduction, diet, exercise, smoking. Amplification of positive motivation to accomplish these goals can be relatively simple for many. It amazes me that with the rising healthcare cost crisis, more utilization of this modality is not a focus. This is despite medical and psychological study after study, (many available on my website), that demonstrate the efficacy of hypnotherapy, even in it's simplest experimental clinical application. hypnohotshot.
Very nice to see awareness like this. My husband and I decided to get serious after our first child so we jumped on what my mom thinks is a crazy diet. We just want to stay lean and eat heart/brain healthy foods and be a true model to our boy.
Our biggest goal is to grow our own food so we can follow a special diet we've been on to keep us on track. We'd love to get into aquaponics but until I can find a method that will run it without power, old fashioned gardening will have to do!
What a great resource. It's certainly an important concern to those of us in the Sandwich Generation, juggling the issues of caring for elderly parents while raising our children or babysitting our grandchildren! If we get sick, there's REALLY a problem for everyone. :) I'll have to bookmark this for next February. Thank you.
Thanks for your very informative video. As you mentioned women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain. You stated neck, shoulder, upper back or abdominal discomfort and fatigue. Also, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, sweating, lightheadedness or dizziness are symptoms women should be aware of. These symptoms are more subtle than the obvious severe chest pain often associated with heart attacks for men.
This video contains valuable information, did not know what the situation was so serious. it is better to write an informative video to text. It is the best method to convey this information. I have also seen that excess weight causes great harm society. From now on I will post information on my blog to see if I can help with anything.
I am particularly interested in learning to eat in a way that lowers inflammation as this seems to be at the source of many health problems from joint pain to heart disease. I would love it if you could address this in depth at some point. Keep up the good work!
I wonder with this program will include information about herpes. I am most interested herpes. The WHO estimates that 85% of the worlds population is infected with the herpes simplex virus, although it often lies dormant in the body. Medical researchers have said that even if they find a cure that can remove the virus from the body, it is likely that you would be reinfected with it because it is so widespread. Therefore I am more interested in initiatives that seek a way to prevent outbreaks than those looking for a cure.
It's nice to see someone (FDA) stepping up on this issue of women's heart disease. I can only wonder how many million women had heart attacks, went to their local ER, were mis-diagnosed and suffered consequences. The female heart attack symptoms have been long known but mostly ignored by the medical community at large. I am a Huntsville AL Chiropractor, Madison AL Chiropractor, Decatur AL Chiropractor, I practice at Millar Chiropractic. on my local TV show on the ABC affiliate WAAY TV, we have had women cardiologist on talking about this very subject. I am proud of you for getting the word out on this essential problem. Please tell all your friend to watch this important video.
Perhaps this information will wake women up to dangers of a poor diet and lack of exercise. Trouble is they have usually been too busy dealing with family demands and juggling work with home. This should be a wake up call to them to become a little more selfish and look after themselves more.
Thank you for the video. I suffered a heart attack at 55 at the time I didnt even know what it was just had like an aching arm. My daughter rang the hospital and they advised she ring an ambulance. It was a heart attack and I had a blocked valve going into my heart.
Heart disease is increasingly becoming a medical problem for women. The blog video is a great start and I suggest inviting experienced cardiologists and other medical specialists to provide more insight as well as preventive measures to heart diseases not only for women, but men as well.
It's honestly painful to think the number 43 million – and to think about why these numbers could be so high. We have the greatest amount of processed foods, sugars, and preservatives circulating in our national food supply than at any other time in history. There are as many dangers as there are choices. Our genetic predispositions, diets, indoor environments, and frequency of exercise help to determine overall risk probability. Reducing this risk via proper motivation, dedication, time (and money) is the key. Unfortunately those who have less of it tend to have less of all the former. If on a budget, keep in mind that less is more (energetic nutrition vs. nutritionally deficient "filler"). You can eat less and stay heart-healthy:)
Women's heart health is as important if not more so than all the other areas of heath concern for women such as overweight, osteoporosis and anorexia just to name a few. Having the resources in a video is a good idea as it provides a better engagement process and a different dimension.
As others have pointed out, heart disease is a lifestyle disease- it a result of unhealthy eating over a period of time. But the good news is that you can rectify this by changing your eating habits. As an example, most people would prefer to pick up a packet of ground beef rather than a turnip of some quinoa right? A predominantly animal based diet which is low on fiber, low on vitamins & minerals and high in toxins is what ultimately leads to heart disease.
We need to bring in fruits, veggies, grains, herbs, spices, nuts and beans into our diets in a major way and cut down on the meats and cheese. Check out A Daily Apple (www.adailyapple.com) that brings you information on numerous healthy foods and how to incorporate it into your diet with healthy recipes and cooking videos. Look for more such information on the web and it can greatly impact the fight against heart disease.
The Video Campaign is a great idea and I think it is important to get the health messages out to the public. I appreciate that our government tax dollars are spent on programs like this and communicated on a platform that cost the tax payers nothing! Well done!
I know I am also looking for a source of information I can trust and I appreciate the FDA being one of those sources.
Great idea.
it's great to see this initiative. Having only found out recently that I have high blood pressure, I've only just found out that it's called the silent killer because there are not really any symptoms for this disease. So many people can suffer from high blood pressure and not even know it unless they go to the doctor and get checked out. I can think of many things I would rather be doing than coping with a stroke just because I didn't get myself checked out at the doctors.
Glad you leave items of this type. It seems that we always worry about heart problems in men, as if only they could be, in general, to them. But it is seen that it is not, women are more prone to them, for their current lifestyle, work outside the home, within her family and thousands of other things. Have to be a little more selfish with it and care more
Really great initiative. The presenters were watchable and engaging and the length was spot on.
It would be great if at the end they could just mention what the next health topic is going to be, help to develop a level of interest and anticipation in future video blogs. And in additional to the video blog you could offer the transcripts as some people take in information best when they have something in front of them to read.
What is the frequency of this video blog series? How are these video blogs being publicised? I came across this site by accident and would have never had known this was in production.
Hey Fdatransparencyblog,
This question may be a little off-topic, Women are suffering from one disease or other due to wrong eating habits, high lifestyle, carelessness and ignorance. Every 3rd women has concerns about the problems or illness they are suffering from.
I'll be back to read more next time
Hi There Fdatransparencyblog,
Speaking of which, Maintaining good health is important for women as they have to do many activities in the daily life. Lots of women have been suffering from many types of Womens Health related problems due to the lack of essential vitamins and minerals in the body. Vitamins are very important and essential ingredients for the body because the help the body organs function properly and due to this reason they need to keep themselves in a good health. Good quality vitamins help the women in slowing ageing process, strengthen the immune system, improve the energy levels and also support the hormones. But before looking for vitamins, a medical consultation is very essential as the medical professional will be able too find out the most suitable vitamins as per the body formation and functionality of vital organs.
I wonder with this program will include information about herpes. I am most interested herpes. The WHO estimates that 85% of the worlds population is infected with the herpes simplex virus, although it often lies dormant in the body. Medical researchers have said that even if they find a cure that can remove the virus from the body, it is likely that you would be reinfected with it because it is so widespread. Therefore I am more interested in initiatives that seek a way to prevent outbreaks than those looking for a cure.
I think that's a really good idea
women health is consider as the most attention things.
video blog about this matters are really important so women can learn everything inside their body.
when women enter Perimenopause or menopause, they come into big risks of dangerous disease that could bring down them.
Superb demonstration. Women's center wellness is essential simply because a lot of ladies do not know the actual indicators associated with heart disease. Essential info as well as offered in a manner that is actually very easily recognized. Congrats!!
(Please delete all two previous comments. I put wrong website. This comment is real and sorry for that. Thank You)
Heart disease in woman, and also in men for that matter, can be greatly prevented or alleviated through the use of alternative medicine methods, in my opinion. Both Yoga and Qi Gong can be invaluable aids in helping the body to heal itself. Combine that with a healthy, and preferably, vegetarian diet, and the chances of surviving many years after a heart attack improve greatly.
My father became a vegetarian after his first heart attack, and his cholesterol levels fell radically without any need for drugs. I am sure that the same can be true for women too.
Of course, the best thing is to ensure one has proper diet and healthy exercise BEFORE heart disease manifests. That is the challenge for women today, especially in the many roles they must carry out. Yoga is something that can be done at home. This is a major advantage in a busy life.
Heart disease is more common in women than men. Women should be aware and be more conscious about their health. They should take into consideration their diet and lifestyle. This post is actually a very good reminder for women all around the world to be more cautious of their health and be aware of the symptoms of heart disease.

Fairly excellent submit. I simply found a persons web site plus wished so that you can tell you this I have quite appreciated reading through a persons site plus reports. Nevertheless Ill often be signing up a persons feast plus I actually hope so that you can look over a persons site again.
Obesity is a major issue here in South Texas. I know many find bariatric surgery an elective procedure but the effects of a gastric bypass can change people and allow for healthier habits even a return to regular fitness. I don't agree with the procedures for teenagers. When I was growing up partying was part of life but as a bariatric patient and someone that might still be growing the idea is poorly thought out.

Good web site! I truly love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I'm wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your feed which must do the trick! Have a nice day! "If you are going to do something wrong at least enjoy it
a very complete and useful video which informs so well about heart problems.

a very complete and useful video which informs great on heart problems.

After watching my mother go through a bad heart attack and open heart surgery a few years ago I decided it was time to get myself in shape also. A friend of mine gave me the p90x routine and showed me a little bit about juicing. I have now lost 60 pounds and I am still working out 6 days a week. The exercise has been the real motivator but I also learned that a lot of things I dont like to eat taste so great when I juice them. Heres to heart health ladies.
I wanted to follow up and let you know how much I valued discovering your web blog today. I'd consider it a honor to do things at my office and be able to use the tips contributed on your site and also be a part of visitors' comments like this. Should a position of guest author become on offer at your end, you should let me know.
Thank you for covering womans health. I agree with you Segunda Mano, A lot of Woman do not know or are aware of the signs of health problems. Thank you FDA for sharing this. I visited the channel and it is some useful information in there. I encourage you all to check it out.
It's unfortunate in this day and age that so many people are ignorant of the fact that heart disease is the number one killer of women. It always seems to be associated with men. The problem is that the risk of heart disease can be increased significantly when other illnesses and diseases are present as mention with Diabetes, lung disease and the like.
I have compiled quite a bit of information on diabetes that I would like to submit for your perusal and input, hopefully you will find it as beneficial as your information.
The funny thing is that following a healthy diet, living well and getting exercise not only helps those with Diabetes but those at risk of heart disease get the same benefits.
Best Regards,

Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my visitors would truly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Many thanks!
This is wonderful. It is important for people to understand that the symptoms of heart disease and heart attack are very different for women. The numbers are also on the rise. Education will help to save lives and prevent heart disease for women. I think including healthy eating tips and other prevention strategies will be very helpful in the videos. Maybe a "heart healthy" cooking demonstration and some healthy exercise demonstrations.

Woman with heart disease is a growing issue. I am pleased to see it spot lighted here. I highly recommend all my patient's with heart disease to become more familiar with Dr. Esselstyn's work. He has the highest rate of reversal of vascular disease, and it is simply through dietary changes! Many do not know it is possible to prevent future MI's.
The rampant obesity in the USA is one of the major causes of many health issues, not only heart disease. It should be in everyones interest to reverse the trend. There is just one insight to be put forward: when the caloric intake is more than the caloric output there will be overweight. It is so simply blatant. Why not begin at this front?
Heart disease is important but one of the more overlooked aspects of female health is poor posture. Poor posture not only makes a woman look older (and what woman wants to look older?) but it also contributes to the onset of the symptoms of Osteoporosis because misaligned bone structure endures more stress, which can lead to more breakage. There are multiple studies that prove this. Perhaps the govt should emphasize heart disease AND good posture.
Just wish to say your article is as astounding.
The clarity on your put up is simply great and that i
can suppose you are knowledgeable in this subject. Well together
with your permission allow me to clutch your feed to keep updated with approaching
post. Thank you 1,000,000 and please keep up the enjoyable work.
Irregular lifestyle and lack of attention to health, is one of the causes of the onset of a chronic illness and death. For example, by consuming alcohol, smoking, and too much food that contains fat. Maybe it is an unhealthy lifestyle. Thank you article, make me more alert.
Maintaining health is needed by everyone. They need all the information about health. Such information can be obtained through the video, consulting and more. Therefore, if you maintain a healthy self is correct, then it will be easy to implement in their family.
I appreciate this very good video, I have a question based on this video topic, according my knowledge, cholesterol is the most risk factor that make heart problem. My question is, is it true that people with obesity also high risk to get heart deseas because of the cholesterol?
can you explain it please?
I am glad that our government is giving back to a country. With this new center the Native a country will have better access to Health care. Their basic healthcare needs including mammography's and mental health services will be more sufficiently met. Two causes especially meaningful to me personally.
Looking forward to reading more. Great blog.Thanks Again. Want more.

Thanks for good tips. I will come back.
t would be interesting to see the overall overdose rate, intentional or not, with hydrocodone being the ONLY drug in the toxicology report. I would make a scientific guess that you will find benzo's, muscle relaxers, antipsychotics which all affect the CNS. Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater. Oh and dont forget the hydrocodone with ones favorite alcoholic beverage is quite good at stopping ones will to breathe.
If you are looking to get healthier and more fit, it is extremely important to start a work out routine that you are willing to make a part of your life. Setting goals is great, but in order to maximize your fitness you should make exercise a priority in your life.
It really very important information and would say each and every women have to take care of their diet, don't stress yourself so much as we all know women do job and also take care of home and children its difficult task but from that have to take out time for yourself as its very much important.u have share precious information, i want to say all women please share this bolg "SHARE and CARE"
Speaking of health, Doctors have revealed that no medicine cure a disease, it is the body that heals itself, but needs a booster to your immune system, the good news is that now there are many testimonies that have strengthened your immune system with the help of transfer factors, and thanks to this wonder, many women have managed to get rid of breast cancer, in addition to many other diseases.
This is such an important issue for the modern woman , lots of working mums are juggling jobs and family commitments and putting themselves under major stress , then to unwind they treat themselves with a drink or two , or three and something comforting to eat. This eventually leads to the inevitable happening , some form of major health problem usually the heart is one of the major organs to succumb to stress and abuse. Women need to be aware of the risks.

Specialized Care. Personalized Treatment.
The multispecialty team provides each patient with a personalized care plan to create the path for the most optimal outcome, including recommendations for advanced diagnostics, consideration of minimally invasive options and participation in promising clinical trials, and complete follow-up care that includes dietary counseling and rehabilitation. The main treatments for stomach cancer are:
NorthShore University HealthSystem's (NorthShore) team of medical oncologists manages and oversees each patient's care from diagnosis through treatment, coordinating with other specialists as needed.
In most cases of stomach cancer, surgery is performed to remove affected tissue. NorthShore offers a full range of surgical options and expertise for patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Led by nationally recognized surgeons, NorthShore offers a wide range of options including minimally invasive and robotic surgery for many patients.
Usually, more than one treatment option is utilized for optimal results, with some being used to manage painful or bothersome symptoms, but that are not curative. Your team will work with you to determine which is best for you.

Compression Socks, 20-30-mmHg
By Never had one!
from Tucson, AZ
The legs are about 5 inches too long. My ankle to my knee is 12 inches. Have to fold the excess down. Isn't too good for fit under pants & looks funny when wearing shorts around home. Since I sew I checked to see if the excess could be cut off. No!Will still try to wear them, I can at least get them on. Suggestion: On that item sizes should be available and most important the leg length should be noted. Maybe state the the sock length. Five inches is a lot too turn down. If I recommended to a friend the leg length would have to be stressed.

George Lopez Comedy Tickets
George Lopez Tickets; Latino Laughs, Mexican Style!
If you want to buy comedy tickets to a great show look no further than George Lopez tickets. Lopez is a proven force on the American comedy circuit, taking his Mexican humor and big heart around the country, Lopez has courted hilarity and even a little controversy wherever he has wandered. The Lopez-Carlos Mencia material-stealing accusations spiced up George's act, when Lopez apparently caught Mencia using his material. George Lopez tickets are going to place you in a room with a very funny Mexican, whose take on the white man's world and his place in it has led him from obscurity to TV stardom, and even the host of the Latin Grammy Awards twice.
Lopez has also appeared on the TV show Inside the NFL, and starred alongside The Naked Brothers Band in an episode of his own series, in which the subject of his wife's donating George a kidney was covered. This plucky Mexican-American, who came from humble beginnings, is now a seasoned performer under the bright lights of fame, and George Lopez tickets are a household concept. Buy George Lopez tickets and laugh till your eyes water. It's good for you!

Besides the outdoor opportunities for pent up youngsters, they say families already are beholden to the school calendar for three seasons out of four. Summer breaks, they say, are needed to provide an academic respite for students' overwrought minds, and to provide time with family and the flexibility to travel and study favorite subjects in more depth. They note that advocates of year-round school cannot point to any evidence that it brings appreciable academic benefits.
"I do believe that if children have not mastered a subject that, within a week, personally, I see a slide in my own child," said Tina Bruno, executive director of the Coalition for a Traditional School Calendar. "That's where the idea of parental involvement and parental responsibility in education comes in, because our children cannot and should not be in school seven days a week, 365 days a year."
Bruno is part of a "Save Our Summers" alliance of parents, grandparents, educational professionals and some summer-time recreation providers fighting year-round school. Local chapters carry names such as Georgians Need Summers, Texans for a Traditional School Year and Save Alabama Summers.
Camps, hotel operators and other summer-specific industries raise red flags about the potential economic effect.
The debate has divided parents and educators.
School days shorter than work days and summer breaks that extend to as many as 12 weeks in some areas run up against increasing political pressure from working households — 30 percent of which are headed by women. These families must fill the gaps with afterschool programs, day care, babysitters and camps.
"Particularly where there are single parents or where both parents are working, they prefer to provide care for three weeks at a time rather than three months at a time," Ballinger said.
The National Center on Time & Learning has estimated that about 1,000 districts have adopted longer school days or years.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Bill Nemitz firstname.lastname@example.com
Shining the spotlight on kids who behave badly is always a delicate business. At one time or another, we all do something during our adolescence that sticks to our conscience for decades like gum on a hot sidewalk.
But really, a kitten in a microwave?
Captured on video and posted on Twitter?
Can someone please explain how anyone, anywhere, anytime could consider this not only fun, but a legitimate form of Internet entertainment?
"Anything that reduces the time between the thought and the action is a risk for kids," said Caroline Knorr, parenting editor for Common Sense Media, a nationally renowned nonprofit that helps parents and children navigate the often perilous world of media and Internet technology.
Let's recap:
Last Thursday, two 15-year-old girls from South Portland uploaded a seven-second video to Twitter's new Vine -- a mobile app that, as Twitter put it during the roll-out in January, "inspires creativity."
They can say that again.
The two girls, whose names are not being released because they're juveniles, apparently thought it would be a hoot for one girl to take her family kitten, put it inside a microwave oven and hit the "on" button. Enter the second girl (possibly via a quick editing cut), who then opens the door and removes the kitten unharmed.
By Friday, the South Portland Police Department was awash in anonymous reports of the video on its email account, telephone tip line and Facebook page. At least one or two tipsters, according to Lt. Frank Clark, identified the clearly visible girls by name.
Police charged the girls with animal cruelty on Monday and brought the kitten to the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, where a lottery will be held for the multitudes who want to adopt the newly named "Miracle." Not surprisingly, Clark has been fielding calls from media outlets and outraged citizens ever since.
What happens next is up to Cumberland County District Attorney Stephanie Anderson, who has yet to receive the final police report. But already, online reaction to the girls' colossally bad behavior ranges from armchair diagnoses of sociopathy to a torrent of suggested punishments.
One caller to the Portland Press Herald on Tuesday said the girls are even getting death threats.
"Obviously, we don't want anyone to take things into their own hands," Clark said in an interview. "This is something that's being handled appropriately by the appropriate people. We don't want anyone going over the line -- we take that very seriously as well."
In other words, people, let's all take a deep breath, step back and consider not only why these two young videographers might use a poor kitten as their prop, but also why they'd post it all online for every citizen of cyberspace to witness.
Back to Common Sense Media's Knorr, who spends a good chunk of her time blogging -- at www.commonsensemedia.org/blog – about the perilous nexus between an adolescent and her (or his) "send" button.
Knorr's assessment of what happened here, albeit from her organization's headquarters in faraway San Francisco: It's a lot easier for a kid to get in trouble today than it was before the Internet hijacked the life of the average American adolescent.
"It's not the technology that's bad," Knorr said. "But kids do act out using the technology -- and now the consequences of that are public. Now, everyone can see what they did."
Which, ironically, is often more a goal than a consequence.
"Justin Bieber got famous from releasing YouTube videos," Knorr noted. Conversely, she said, the "Rebecca Black – Friday" video, featuring a previously unknown California girl with (I'm being kind here) marginal talent, has become a YouTube sensation primarily because it's considered so over-the-top terrible.

If you've played any of the previous Monkey Ball titles then you'll know what to expect from the game's main mode. By selecting Monkey Ball you're taken to a screen with five options: Challenge, Replay, Practice, High Scores, and Collectibles. The meat of the game is Challenge Mode, where you select one of four monkeys (AiAi, MeeMee, Baby, and GonGon) and take on seven different worlds with ten stages each. Your goal, as in other Monkey Ball games, is to get from the start to the goal within sixty seconds while collecting bananas and avoiding obstacles. Collecting thirty bananas nets you an extra life while either falling off the stage or running out of time make you lose a life.
The game offers two control styles: using the circle pad or the motion sensor. The circle pad offers a control style similar to previous Monkey Ball titles. Moving the circle pad forward, back, left, and right tilts the stage in that direction and your ball rolls accordingly. Using the motion sensor gets the same effects when tilting the 3DS up, down, and to either side. When I first got the game I played the entire first world using the motion controls. Despite how fun it was to rotate my 3DS all over the place to stay on the stage without falling off, I found that using the circle pad was more accurate. On top of that, if you like having the 3D effects on, then using the motion sensor is pretty much out of the question. Take any application or game for the 3DS, turn on the 3D effect, and tilt the system in any direction and you'll see how hard it is to see what's happening on the screen. While the motion controls are fun to play with, I find myself using the circle pad as it helps with turning tight corners.
Each stage is littered with obstacles to avoid that can make your life miserable. Thankfully there aren't too many obstacles to worry about and once you learn how to get around them safely you should have no problems with the later stages. The most annoying obstacles you'll come across are the bumpers. These look like small wooden logs sticking out of the ground with spikes on them and they come in two varieties: bumpers with a small black band and bumpers with a small blue band. The bumpers with the small black band are the more common of the two and are found in the majority of the stages. When you run into them with your ball you bounce off of it at an angle, more often than not right off the stage. At first they're not hard to avoid, but in later stages they're placed in more precarious places that require pinpoint accuracy to avoid. The blue-banded bumpers on the other hand, while rare to see, are more deadly as touching one of them will more than likely bump you right off the stage with no chance of hanging on. The only other obstacle you'll come across (other than some blocks in the road or sandy terrain that can slow you down) are what appear to be rocks on the ground (or clumps of dirt, it's kind of hard to tell). Hitting these at a slow speed won't do much but slightly toss you around a bit, but hitting them at high speeds can not only toss you around, but pretty much completely throw you off your path. While not as annoying as the bumpers, they still shouldn't be taken lightly…or quickly.

Wakonda man's arson trial scheduled by David Lias The trial of a Wakonda man charged with arson over a year ago is finally scheduled to get under way.
In November.
The long wait for the trial to finally be scheduled in circuit court at the Clay County Courthouse can�t entirely be blamed on the court�s full calendar, however.
George �Al� Davis was originally scheduled to appear in court last December, but lab work on the evidence was not completed.
The trial was then rescheduled for early January. But at that time, Clay County State�s Attorney Tami Bern was still waiting for the test results on forensic evidence needed for prosecution.
Bern said recently that a motion filed by Davis to continue the scheduling process of his trial was also successful. That pushed the trial�s scheduled start back to Nov. 15.
Davis, who was a member of the Wakonda Fire Department, was arrested in June 1998 for allegedly trying to burn down the rectory of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Wakonda on April 25, 1998.
Davis was arrested after he was indicted by a Clay County grand jury on May 27, 1998. The indictment alleges that on or about April 25, Davis committed second degree arson by intentionally trying to set fire to the rectory.
The indictment also includes an alternative charge of third degree arson.
Davis also was indicted on first degree burglary charges, and in the alternative, third degree burglary for allegedly entering the rectory with the intent to commit a crime, in this case, arson.
The rectory was unoccupied at the time Davis allegedly tried to set it on fire.
Search warrant documents reveal several ironic aspects of this case. An affidavit requesting a search warrant, filed April 29, 1998 by Clay County Deputy Sheriff Les Kephart, states that the sheriff�s office received a report of a fire occurring at the rectory on April 25, and the sheriff's office began an investigation.
According to the affidavit, the fire was reported by Davis. He stated that he observed a fire inside of the rectory while walking his dog.
The fire, which extinguished voluntarily, appeared to have been set by someone breaking a window of the rectory and throwing a paper napkin or paper towel covered with accelerant into the residence.
Davis had a cut along his right hand which would be consistent with the breaking of the window, according to the affidavit. Firemen also witnessed blood on his jacket and jeans.
This injury would not have incurred while responding to the fire, the affidavit states, because Davis put on his fire gear prior to responding. The blood was on his clothes that were underneath his fire gear.
Circuit Court Judge Arthur Rusch issued a search warrant, and local law enforcement authorities visited the residence owned by Herman L. and Ruth M. Davis in Wakonda on April 29, 1998.
During that search, according to a document dated May 5, 1998, Kephart seized several rolls of paper towels, one empty jug of paint thinner, used paper towels, one green first responder jacket, and three vials of gas from a gas can in the Davis garage.
Further details of this case are revealed in a second application and affidavit in support of a request for a search warrant filed by Kephart on June 15, 1998 with the First Judicial Circuit Court.
The request repeats what had been documented earlier: that Davis reported that he observed a fire inside of the rectory while walking his dog during a heavy rainstorm on April 25.
It also reveals that investigators concluded that the fire had been set in the rectory after a window had been broken to gain entry to the residence.
It also appeared that the person breaking the window sustained a bleeding injury as law enforcement recovered a piece of the broken window with blood on it.
The arsonist had apparently dabbed his wounds on paper towels which were also present at the scene. The paper towels had not burned up during the fire.
Paper towels with a similar design or logo were recovered from Davis� residence subsequent to the previous search warrant issued by the court.
The piece of broken glass out of the rectory�s front door has what appears to be a fingerprint on it. The fingerprint and the blood was on the side of the glass which was facing the floor.
Law enforcement officials also believed, at the time they sought the second search warrant, that the paper towels may also contain fingerprint evidence.
The second affidavit again stated that Davis had a cut along his right hand which would be consistent with the breaking of a window. Firemen also witnessed blood on his jacket and jeans.

These beautiful 3D sculptures of paper take a whole new look at the idea of a "pop-up" book. Pennsylvania-based artist Jodi Harvey-Brown alters old books and gives them a second life by making beautiful sculptures out of their pages. "The books that we love to read should be made to come to life. Characters, that we care so much for, should come out of the pages to show us their stories," said the artist.

I'll look into the rest of what you mentioned though
Thanks for looking my list and thanks for adding missing jerseys. About Bulls, yes i know, that they always had that logo from the beginning, but when i saw, that they use different logo like your avatar i want to mention, and Knicks had current this years logo, that's why i mention, i'm not complain, just when check each team logos, jerseys, i look very deep btw did you you check incorrect arenas names, what do you think about that list?HAWK23 wrote:I just did a bunch of work...

I did change all of the arena names you mentioned (except I didn't change the Arco Arena or Madison Square Garden ones with the roman numerals... that would have just been silly.... but I did do all of the rest

The food industry has made a big effort to respond to the calcium deficiency that Americans may face. Products fortified with calcium have been growing in number over the years. Dairy foods are a major source of calcium. Milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream are popular food items containing calcium. Lactose intolerance, which may affect up to 25% of all Americans, can affect calcium intake. If the lactose intolerant avoids dairy products, they must make an extra effort to satisfy their calcium requirements. Some producers are marketing lactose-free milk products, fortified with calcium. Even among children who are not calcium intolerant, milk consumption has declined with the availability of many other beverages. This is especially a problem among teenage boys, who seem to prefer soft drinks to milk.
In addition to the amount of calcium a food product contains, the rate the body can absorb the calcium is also important. Some forms of calcium are easier to absorb than other forms. Calcium in milk is absorbed at a rate of 32%, radishes at 74% and spinach at 5%. In addition, certain other elements, such as vitamin D and phosphorus, affect the absorption of calcium. Data suggest it is best to ingest calcium throughout the day, rather than at one time. This suggests it is best to obtain calcium through the normal diet, rather than through calcium supplements.
It is believed that calcium intake early in life can help one later on in life. Consequently, it is best to make a regular habit of eating calcium-containing foods from childhood. This will help reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Bone loss is a cumulative effect, so preserving bone integrity in childhood and through adolescence will help when one reaches an older age. The RDA for calcium changes with age and is currently set at 1300 mg per day for 9-18 year olds, 1000 for 19-50 year olds and 1200 for 51 and older individuals. Lower estrogen levels in older women accelerated bone loss so they may require additional calcium.
Product labeling normally lists products with 10% of the RDA as "calcium-enriched", products with 10-19% of the RDA as "good source of calcium" and products with more than 20% of the RDA as "high in calcium", though these are not required indications.
Food producers must consider many factors in fortifying products with calcium, including solubility, cost, taste and absorptive. Orange juice is an easy product to fortify, especially if it is not clarified, since insoluble calcium can be easily suspended in it. Calcium carbonate, calcium citrate and calcium lactate are three of the ingredients used in the food industry to fortify products.
It is interesting that milk contains calcium and other minerals in a similar proportion as bones. Both milk and bones contain twice as much calcium as phosphorus, along with trace minerals including magnesium, potassium, zinc and copper. This should come as no surprise since ALLAH, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, has made mother's milk a readily available and inexpensive supply of food and nutrition for newborns. In fact, the Quranic guidance to nurse babies for two years, if they continue to accept it, provides a solid foundation for proper growth.
Common sense suggests one should eat a healthy diet including foods from the four food groups; exercise; and get enough rest. This is the way the Creator intended for us to lead our lives. World pressures and temptations have made that difficult for many people, so we seek shortcuts to achieving a healthy life. The best way to do that is to follow the Divine guidance and partake of the good and pure foods that have been provided.
"O ye who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided for you and be grateful to ALLAH, if it is HE ye worship." (Al Baqara: 172) (Information from "Calcium's Role," from the January 2001 issue of Food Product Design magazine, by Suanne Klahorst, associate director of the California Institute of Food and Agricultural Research (CIFAR) at the University of California-Davis.

Page: Simple Dynamic Password Codec, Version:4
Grails grants you the ability to quickly define dynamic codecs that you can easily call from within your Grails app. One of the most common uses of a such codecs in web applications is the creation of one-way hashed password strings. Grails makes this very easy to implement and use.
Note that this is for demonstration purposes only. Do not roll your own security implementation. Use an established framework, for example the spring-security-core or Shiro plugins.First, create a new codec in /grails-app/utils.grails-app/utils/PasswordCodec.groovy:
You only need to define the encode closure (codecs may also have a decode closure, but you don't need one for a one-way hash). The above encode closure accepts a string parameter (str). It then creates a SHA-1 MessageDigest to digest the string. The digested string (an array of bytes) is handed off to a Base64Encoder to turn it into the returned encoded hashed string.You may now call this codec on any string in your grails appplication by calling {{someString.encodeAsPassword()}}. Here is a complete user controller (modified from the one in _Grails - The Definitive Guide_, pgs. 159-167) that uses the PasswordCodec to encode the password when the user registers and to compare an entered password with a stored password when the user logs in.grails-app/controllers/UserController.groovy:
import java.security.MessageDigest import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64class PasswordCodec { static encode = { String s -> MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance('SHA') md.update s.getBytes('UTF-8') Base64.encodeBase64 md.digest() } }
class UserController { def login = { if (session.user) { redirect(controller:'topic', action:'list') } } def handleLogin = { def user = User.findByEmail(params.email) if (!user) { flash.message = "User not found for email ${params.email}" redirect(action:'login') return } if (user.password != params.password.encodeAsPassword()) { flash.message = "Incorrect password for ${params.email}" redirect(action:'login') return } session.user = user redirect(controller:'topic', action:'list') } def register = {} def handleRegistration = { def user = new User(params) if (params.password != params.confirm) { flash.message = "The passwords you entered do not match." redirect(action:'register') return } user.password = params.password.encodeAsPassword() if (!user.save()) { flash.user = user redirect(action:'register') return } redirect(controller:'topic', action:'list') } }

Each year, doctors treat more than 3 million sports-related injuries in children and teens.
And no matter how grown-up these athletes may look on the playing field or the balance beam, when they're hurt, they need medical care that addresses their unique needs as growing young people. That's why Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters -- the name parents have trusted
since 1961 for their children's health care -- has created the region's only sports medicine program just for young athletes.
CHKD's sports medicine team specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of sudden injuries, as well as those caused by chronic overuse.
Some of the conditions we treat frequently include:
CHKD's Sports Medicine Program offers a complete spectrum of services to young athletes of every size, shape, age and ability. Our care is backed by CHKD's full complement of pediatric health services and is provided by primary care sports medicine specialists, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physical therapists and certified athletic trainers who understand the special demands that sports place on young, growing bodies.
Specialized Services:
We offer emergency appointments every day, and our physicians are always on call for patients who come to the CHKD Emergency Center with sports-related injuries. We also see patients at the main hospital and at our CHKD Health Centers in the Oakbrooke area of Chesapeake, the Kempsville area of Norfolk, the Oyster Point area of Newport News and the Princess Anne area of Virginia Beach.
This depends on what kind of insurance you have. If you have an HMO, you must:

Chelsea's second potential opponents in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup were decided this weekend and Roberto Di Matteo has also been speaking about the tournament, revealing a declined request to postpone of one of the club's domestic fixtures.
Ulsan Hyundai from South Korea won the Asian Champions League on Saturday and will now play Mexican side Monterrey in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, the match to take place on 9 December in Toyota, Japan. The winner will then face Di Matteo's side four days later in Yokohama.
With Chelsea scheduled to play Sunderland on Saturday 8 December, the acclimatisation period will be short following the journey to the Far East and although Monterrey have more reason to be concerned about time zone differences than Ulsan Hyundai, either side will be more adjusted than the Blues by the time of the semi-final.
Consequently discussions with the Premier League have been on-going on whether our match at the Stadium of Light can be moved to allow an earlier journey to Japan, but Chelsea learnt of the decision last week.
'We are very happy to go to Japan and we have tried to postpone the Sunderland game to give us the best chance but the Premier League didn't agree to it,' Di Matteo confirms.
'That certainly could put strain on the players because we are only going to arrive three days before our first game in Japan. We would have liked to go a few days earlier so the players are adjusted to the new time zone. Travelling there with a nine-hour time difference, you want to do everything in your power to be ready for those games. It is a big injury risk as well.
'You would think the Premier League would have every interest in making sure they give you the best chance of being successful in Japan, which would reflect very well on English football and the Premier League so I am very surprised about it, I can't get my head round it.
'The fixture list is obviously very full but where there is a will there is a way. You see all the other confederations trying to help their teams to do well in Europe. We talked about this last season as well.'
Di Matteo is referring to the request back in April to give the Blues an earlier kick-off time for our FA Cup semi-final against Spurs on the Sunday before we met Barcelona. That was not granted.
Looking ahead to the Club World Cup, our manager makes it clear how seriously he is taking the tournament.
'Maybe in England it is not regarded as so but you speak to the South Americans, the Asians and everybody that is involved and it is a massive competition. Winning that trophy means the world.
'It is a trophy we don't have in our cabinet and we desperately want to bring it to Stamford Bridge.'
Ulsan Hyundai qualified by beating Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli 3-0 in a final held in their own stadium in Korea. It is their first AFC Champions League title.
The other teams now qualified for next month's tournament are Auckland City from New Zealand who will play-off against a Japanese side for a place in the quarter-finals, and Brazilian side Corinthians who qualify automatically for the other semi-final.

Tougher than the rest
Giants' grit will overcome Pats' talent in Super Bowl
Posted: Tuesday January 22, 2008 11:41AM; Updated: Tuesday January 29, 2008 6:57PM
I have a chance to settle an old score, right an old wrong, find peace in my old age and apologize, in sideways fashion, to those whom I wronged so many years ago.
The way to do all this is to pick the Giants to upset New England, and that's what I'm doing. Giants to upset the New England Patriots, currently favored by 12½, in the great stormfest known as Super Bowl XLII.
In 1968 I was the beat man, covering the Jets for the New York Post. I was around the team every day. I flew down with them to Miami for Super Bowl III and I stayed in their hotel, the Galt Ocean Mile in Fort Lauderdale. The Colts opened as 17-point favorites. By game time, the rush of Baltimore money had pushed the price up to 19½, one of the biggest line moves in Super Bowl history. They were calling the Colts The Greatest Team Ever, or at least the greatest on the defensive side of the ball. Their owner, Carroll Rosenbloom, thunderously echoed that sentiment.
I had a feeling about the Jets, not a strong one, but Joe Namath working against that strong side rotating zone? Gee, he'd never had trouble with it before. Could it be that ... ? Do I have the courage to ... ? Nah, I'll pick the Colts to win, but by under the spread. That'll make everyone happy. So I did and it made no one happy, least of all me when the Jets scored the biggest upset in Supe history. Who was happy? Leonard Shecter of the Post. He picked the Jets. I kicked myself for the coward I was. No longer. Today, I am a man.
I was in Green Bay on Sunday. The Giants clearly were the better team, tougher, more resilient, harder hitting. That bone chilling cold that was supposed to imbue the Packers with strength and sap it from their enemies, kind of like the giant Antaeus from Greek mythology who drew his strength from contact with the ground ... that brutal, minus-24 wind chill cold was brushed aside by the Giants.
Which was all very well, but Sports Illustrated had sent me out there to do a Super Bowl advance, a look ahead, which isn't easy when the magic of the moment is the game just completed. But coaches are always grading film a week or two in advance, and I knew Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnola must have done a complete workup on the Patriots, so I found him in the locker room and asked him about stopping Tom Brady.
That question might be answered by a news flash that seems to be spiraling out of control around the league. A video is making the rounds showing Brady walking the streets of New York with a cast on his foot. This comes right out of the blue, and it could be that he has simply found a more efficient way to navigate midtown Manhattan, or we could have a major story here. More later, but right now I'm back to the mundane task of getting the strategy from Spagnola.
When he began by feeding me the old jazz about how you have to give him a lot of looks and mix it up, I finished it for him. "Give him the same look and he'll kill, no, you have to mix it up, and the important thing is constant pressure because you don't want him, to get comfortable in the pocket ..." etc., etc.
"I guess you've heard this before, huh?" he said, and I nodded, and the separation was amicable. And gradually it dawned on me, as I toured the locker room, picking up a quote here and there -- there isn't a way to stop Brady and Welker and Moss and Faulk and Maroney ... the whole riotous bunch. A team just has to be tougher, more resilient, more able to sustain high-level pressure on both sides of the ball for a longer period. And I honestly feel that the Giants can do it. Just look at what this improbable team has done so far.
They didn't win their 10 straight on the road against stiffs. Five of the teams were favored over New York, including Dallas and Green Bay, the conference's top two, which fell in successive weekends. The Giants had to come from behind in eight of the 10 games, including Green Bay, in Lambeau, in the frigid temperature before all those screaming fans. I saw one article that suggested Brady and the Patriots might have struggled at first because the wind chill at Foxboro was nine degrees. How about Eli Manning and the boys? They were working in a wind chill that was minus-24 in the fourth quarter and OT.
"Having been on a team that won the Super Bowl, from a wild-card spot," said Todd Christensen, the All-Pro tight end who was on the 1980 champion Raiders, "the ongoing confidence gained by continuing to win at other people's houses cannot be stressed strongly enough."
